What is Cute
 

Life in These United States is so very often linked to the CUTE, the Unexamined (just ask any Brit here) so I'm asked, on an hourly basis (if not more), if I am ten pounds over-weight, if I am BORED or USING DRUGS to combat this boredom, or something else Oprah can eventually use (hopefully molestation-related) BUT ! The real answer would be that I am bored and using COFFEE CAKE to com--never mind... Anyway....You know? I'm pretty immune to cute. I'm sorta wanting to launch a Jihad on cute.

plus, tw pisses me off.

I hate cute
 

I've always hated "cute." I think the most egregious offender is Kim Anderson and her exploitative pictures of children not only dressed up as adults, but mimicing adult behaviour. It reminds me of child pornography. Awful.

Cute is the epitome of all that is babies, kittens, puppies, furry little yellow chicks, and incredibly huge-eyed Japanese anime schoolgirls.

However... we all learned language for a reason. Why not try to describe things the way they really are? For instance, use attractive if something indeed seems to pull at you. Or how about delightful in the place of cute if an image gives you joy?

I can't say I've ever really given any thought to this over abundance of "cute" before now, but I promise I'll try to use my words like a big girl from now on, and use ambrosial next time.

I think the word cute is like the word sh*t. It's used so many ways, in so many contexts, it means nothing by itself anymore. :2cents:

You don't think tw is cute????? Oh yeah, I definitely visualize him as cute, like a sweet littly geeky guy in hornrim glasses surrounded by empty coffee cups and stacks of every major newspaper in the country and a computer with every political-theme blog bookmarked. I'll be he is one of the cutest guys here ;)

...damn.... now I feel cheap.... and so.... uncute.

I kind of doubt tw is physically cute, even in a sweet li'l geek way. If he was, he wouldn't be so pompously, bitterly full of himself.

But he's impressively so...and that's what makes him cute! Dare I say, God certainly does work in mysterious ways. :turd:

Ugh. I dislike words that once fit so well but have become the lazy way to express yourself. I'm guilty of using them frequently myself, though I'm trying to stop, really I am! :o

i'm cute. and i know it.

[visual]"oh isn't that cute" with sarcasm and rolled up eyes. I've seen that.


No one believes cute anymore. No, cute is sagging diapers, whinning teenagers and locking the keys in the car while running. Cute has done a complete 90 degree turn so....yeah cute sucks.

About a month or two ago, I actually locked my keys in my car while running... for over 6 hours. Very cute.

What is cute?

THIS is cute.

Almost everything from Cuteoverload wins.

You were running for over six hours, or the car was?

AAA has that long of a response time?
